A buddy of mine owns a car wash and a 65 Fairlane that he has poured about 10 million hours of love into. His winter project this year was to hand polish the aluminium trim until it looked like stainless steel. If he drives it to work and it rains he pulls it into one of the bays and puts a cover over it to protect it from spray. It is NEVER out of the garage until the streets have been swept in the spring.
